Here’s a neat Windows 7 trick that’s mind blowing. It enables “GodMode,” a term devised by the fans of this trick, which provides a single place to access all Windows settings without needing to browse options and folders in the Control Panel.
Follow these simple steps to enable the God Mode:
1. Create a new folder.
2. Rename the folder to GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} (You can change the “GodMode” text to anything you want, but the following period and code number are essential).
3. The folder icon will change — double click it to show the GodMode window:
4. The window shows nearly 50 sections with quick links to configuration options. Strictly speaking, it’s not a God Mode since all the options are available elsewhere. It’s more akin to an “all tasks” list — but you may find it easier than stumbling through Windows numerous screens and panels.
Note:
The trick appears to work on 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows 7. Vista 32-bit and Windows Server 2008 32-bit , However, it is known to crash 64-bit versions of Vista — and you may need to boot in safe mode or to the command line to delete the folder. Sadly, Windows XP does not have this feature.
